Top Cape Fear Museum of History and Science Hotel Reviews

Embassy Suites by Hilton Wilmington Riverfront

10/10 Excellent

"The hotel looks and feels very nice. Beautiful inside, excellent location, several elevators, nice views. Area around is clean, quiet, direct access to the Riverwalk. Our room was large, clean and nice. Beds were comfy, large bathroom and overall nice. The only issue we had was AC - it did not work, but we realised too late. Stuff told us their maintenance crew works 24-7 but we did not bother, it was 11pm when I saw the thermostat temperature. W'eve got 2 free drinks each. Breakfast was great, really appreciate custom omelettes and good coffee. Parking is expensive, $30 for in-out self park, 35 valet. But it's actually $15 for 24 hours in the same parking garage if you just drive in and park one level higher. Which we did."

10/10 Excellent

"The room was perfect. The hotel was conveniently located."

"Great location, comfy bed and wonderful little amenities! Had a cute snack basket, along with bathroom extras (hair ties, cotton swabs and q-tips) that were a great touch! It’s close enough to downtown that everything is easily walkable but not so close it’s too loud. Host was very easy to communicate with and so helpful when needed!"

"This is an amazing property. The views are stunning, and so close to everything, right in downtown Wilmington on the River walk. The rooms were so clean that I felt like I was at home. Mr. Curt was extremely engaged and although we had zero issues, I believe he was sincerely concerned as to our needs and comfort. I would highly recommend d this property without reservation."
